Cydonia, Mars ~ Two Hills
Two One Quarter Pyramids? | |

I noticed two small
hills that had faces that were very striking. The sides appear to form isosceles
triangles, one of which is certainly less of a triangle than the other, but most
earthly pyramids are in pretty sad shape as well.
Both of these “triangles” have the same orientation, the same albedo, and the same approximate size. I could picture a square drawn about the base of these “hypothetical pyramids” so this page is the result. This is more about perception and the nature of the data more than it is what is really on Mars. The other NASA enhanced image was quite a disappointment. Had to look real hard to see the same thing. The range of data on the original images is so limited that the contrast had to be stretched by NASA in order to make the data useful. This enhanced all the noise in the system and inherent imaging artifacts as well. Still, I want to see two pyramids, don’t you? Well, maybe half of you will, and half of you won’t. Some of you may even see three of them. Relax folks, you know who won’t see them at all. (inside joke) When the NASA MGS takes another picture of this area, maybe we’ll see if these two hills have some other sides that are equally interesting. Until then, two one quarter pyramids, isn't much to base a conclusion on, or for that matter, a theory. One thing that seems very interesting, is that many of the other features present in these images seem to be oriented at a similar angle. The “pyramids” are located on the top half all the way to the left on the Cydonia image 3 bottom half. To find them, go from the top of the image down until you spot a sizable crater about two thirds of the way to the right and then procede to the left side of the picture. Happy hunting.
